      i have a 2012 dodge charger srt8 with a steering pump similar to the one shown in video. The o-ring seal where the reservoir connects to the pump broke causing a major leak.....i took the pump off and apart.....replaced all the seals....reassembled (i took notes and pics) i filled with ATF-4 as requested......I turned the wheel back and fourth over 100 times.....i put a vacuum on the reservoir while turning side to side....i just cant get power steering at idle....when accelerating power sterring works fine.....has a constant whinning.....I never had any issue with the power steering before. I took the pump off a 2nd time....reassembled....same issue. Any idea what could be causing this? Something I'm overlooking? I just ordered a ref Mopar p/s pump from rockauto.....Im thinking my pump is fine and maybe the r/p is bad......but Ive never had an issue ever with it......could there be a pocket of air......no leaks anywhere and i put the steering through hell on a mountain pass trying to break something but it kept going and going.......just loud whinning and no power steering at idle.....I have nerve damage in my forearms so I cant deal with this much longer......any advice or ideas would ve greatly greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance.​@speedkar99

    This is an ingenious idea that they came up with. They knew that Blade / Fan Type wouldn't work, so rotating " Vanes " would be a better option and longer lasting :D.

    • @speedkar99
      @speedkar99  7 років тому

      +Jordan Bronson it is quite interesting, in that it differs from an oil pump (tranny and engine), the vanes here adjust to wear as they grind down so it lasts long.

    My wife’s Kia uses a hydraulic assist rack. Presently the steering wheel “wobbles” slightly at about 2 hertz when returning the wheel to center. It’s noticeably better at COLD ambient temps below -15C. It is NOT related to the vehicle speed. No accidents contributed; it gradually appeared over a year. PS Fluid drained/replaced twice with Lucas PS conditioner. U-Joints between steering wheel and rack have been lubricated.
    Any ideas?

      More pressure means more boost.
      On Camry for example, the SE pump has a different flow control valve than the LE/XLE models for different steering tuning.

    Would like to have you go over what usually goes wrong with them? Seems like a lot of things could go wrong if those two little holes got plugged up with debris. Now you've got an issue! I have little black pieces of rubber in my reservoir screen. Where do you think that's coming from?

      @@speedkar99 I think he's coming from the vantage of a non English-speaker (as first language) plus he's also comparing styles of pointing to things while always staying behind the camera. Ultimately, I think he's complimenting you because both you and Chris are good, but you explain how the actual items work from a design/engineering perspective.

    Good job. I have an ml55 amg 2000 I need to top off the fluid. After putting the seafoam trans tune in. Can any any power fluid be used? I don't want to spend the money on CHF 11S. I just need a little. Can I use prestone... .european?

    Any chance the power steering pump could go bad if there is oil residues in the steering fluid reservoir?

      Yep, if you starve it of lubrication the bearings will go

      i made ps flush before gearbox oil change(every 3 years or 25000km): i buy 10 litres of fluid , make ps flush and that oil leave 1 month to be still, and then collect clean and clear part of oil. and that oil use for gearbox because ps pump/rack is very sensitive thing and require clean oil, but gearbox makes small dirt after 5 minutes of working and is not so sensitive on dirt. on very first flush , oil could be very dirty so throw away first 5 litres when flush. because i make flush many times, oil from ps is very clean and it can be used for gearbox after being still for 1 month

    Question
    You mentioned there was a calibrated Spring But determines the flow
    Is there a way to modify this mechanism to get more power steering

    hi speedkar99. nice video. Can you explain to me why many many GM like camaro Ls1 engines power steering pumps stop working? there is no leak. no sqeeky sound. But the steering wheel is hard to turn. after buying new one all work fine. Have you ever find out?

    • @speedkar99
      @speedkar99  6 років тому

      +Boost V8 chevy perhaps there's an internal leak where the vanes aren't pushing against the housing and there's a lack of flow

    • @boostv8chevy457
      @boostv8chevy457 6 років тому

      speedkar99 thank you. i had the feeling the vanes are kindha stuck. like you menssion. some of them remain inward. I was thinking in slightly polish or hight grid each of them.So they can move freely.Do you know why you can't keep you steering wheel full turned one side more then 3 second?We are palling on using a very big oil cooler for that. We drift. After time of using the car. the pump stop giving the hight pressure. the pressure valve we don't know if can adjust it.
